I find certain aspects of the game quite tedious and mind-numbing (gambling etc.), so I created software to automate them. After finishing most of the game content I found that I could get plenty of BBs from the AI chest which I used for my obsession with achievement hunting (past event items/pets etc). I have a Minecraft background, so I'm well aware that there are certain mods/clients/programs that are forbidden because they give an unfair advantage over other players in a multiplayer environment. Since BW2 is mostly a single player game, I kept using/creating programs as I saw no aspects that would have a negative effect on other players. I did share some software with other players, some of whom also started gaining a lot of BBs. Which brings us to the present. While I agree that the AI chest should have a timer, I strongly disagree with the current cooldown as it is punishing some players for a "crime" they didn't commit. As it stands, the current 2 day cooldown is ridiculous. I suggest 1 of the following 3 suggestions be used instead. a) A 20 hour cooldown like most repeatable quests in the game. This does have a downside as it affects some players who open the AI chest more frequently and also don't use 3rd-party software. b) A specific timer of 6-12 hours depending on how quickly players can collect all the AI puzzle pieces. Other players can comment on how quickly/often they open the AI chest. c) A player-specific timer that calculates the cooldown based a players total BBs; similar to the Flungeon, the more BBs you have, the longer the timer. Again, I apologize for the trouble I've caused.
